Four Color #431
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Cleaning the house," Woody’s life takes a wild turn when his rich Uncle Woodrow’s mysterious "Pride and Joy" arrives—only it’s not a person, but a mischievous bear that escapes a medicine show van and ends up at Woody’s doorstep. With the bear wreaking havoc in the house, Woody tries to play host, unaware of the chaos his good intentions are about to unleash. Dick Hall’s art, inked by Suzanne Seaborne, brings the slapstick antics to life, while Dan Gormley’s cover captures the absurdity of the moment perfectly.
In this 1952 tale from Four Color #431, a bumbling but good-natured bear named Woody stumbles into a wild situation when he’s roped into helping two slick bank robbers escape—under the guise of a movie shoot. As the getaway leads them to a remote mountain hideout, Woody begins to suspect the truth behind their story, leaving him trapped between a clever ruse and a very real danger.
In "A Bear in the House," Woody welcomes a mysterious visitor he believes is his wealthy Uncle Woodrow’s prized "Pride and Joy"—a trained bear who’s accidentally escaped from a medicine show van. What starts as a curious hospitality quickly turns chaotic as the bear’s antics turn Woody’s home into a wreck, all while the real owner rides in to reclaim his animal.
